We are currently undergoing the process of attaining the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business’s Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) certification. The PAIR certification encourages us to reflect and improve our practices, ensuring better representation of Indigenous peoples across our worksites and offices.
As a part of the PAIR certification, we are creating an Indigenous Relations policy. We are committed to applying the principles and standards set out by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and have adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a reconciliation framework.
